Academy Awards 1999 In Memoriam 1998

[@MegHammil]

Those clips of Roddy McDowall break my heart every time, even after nearly 20 years. I know hearing the applause isn't considered appropriate these days during the In Memoriam, but it is nice to be reminded how much he was loved in the film industry. I wish there had been mention that the Academy had named their photo archives in his honor just before he death.

[@rockisheaven]

His performance in How Green Was My Valley is just heart-wrenching. One of the absolute best ever given by a child actor.

[@blessOTMA]

Indeed. He was loved for his work and himself.

How could they not put up Roddy McDowall as Cornelius. Such an iconic role of the 70’s. Sci-Fi just didn’t get proper respect in the 90’s.

[@lisakwaterski6707]

See the Oscar Memoriam with Stan Lee, etc. It had an orchestra performing the moving music track from the movie, "Superman." I believe it was called "Leaving Home," or something like that. That was a nice tribute.

[@rayvega3163]

I'm sad that I never got the chance to meet all the famous actors including Roddy McDowall and Phil Hartman and Alan Pakula.

Didn't Frank Sinatra die in 98? Sure, he was mainly a singer, but he did appear in several films. He even won an Oscar for his performance in From Here To Eternity.

[@SuperRod88]

Rewatching this tribute, now I truly understand why the most recent In Memoriam segments for the Oscars always have some singer performing a sad song while the crowd stays silent up until the commercial break. The audience back then kept ranking their favorite artists with higher or minor applauses, quite disrespectful I think, specially for the insiders in the industry, people behind the camera. I might not like the song tribute they do these days but it's a lot better than the applause going up and down of before. Great video by the way.

[@F.ernando]

I do not agree... I miss the warmth of those tributes, with noisy applause, without so much languor and indifference.

[@christopherparrisjr.3146]

The audience still claps selectively for people. I like the orchestra music they made for these back in the day. It would be nice if they aired In Memoriam segments with prerecorded music so we don’t have to hear the selective applause from the audience.

[@vickihough6060]

we all had favorites. No reason they can't applaud in recognition. There's a big difference between a Cagney, Stewart or Mitchum and a Jim Varney.(no disrespect intended). They wouldn't be included if they weren't all excellent at their craft.

Of course, one person not mentioned that had a great impact on film was Gene Siskel. But Whoopi gave her own tribute to him in the show and the audience did applaud for it.

...........Stanley Kubrick???? Last I checked he died weeks before this ceremony! Where the fuck is Kubrick?! I'm glad Steven Spielberg had some things to say about him the following year, but come on! He should have been here in the first place!

[@sputtermutter]

supermariofan03 Kubrick had his own special tribute that year along with Frank Sinatra, Gene Siskel, and Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. That's why none of them are in this.

[@pauldibu1]

Frank Sinatra????
